No. Affordable on Openigloo is a market-relative filter, not a public or income-restricted housing category. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for this page's scope, capped at $4,700 here.

Openigloo sets the threshold at the 25th percentile of gross rents for this page's scope, then applies a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic. For this page, that ceiling is $4,700.

Pet-friendly does not guarantee every pet is allowed. Ask about breed, weight, and pet-count limits, pet rent or deposits, and any documents the landlord requires before you apply.

The median rent is $4,150, which helps you compare the typical asking rent against the affordable ceiling of $4,700. For 2-bedroom apartments, the bedroom count also matters because the rent is usually split across roommates or used to balance space and budget.

Monthly utilities, move-in deposits, broker fees, pet fees, and lease terms can raise the true cost above the asking rent. Always compare the full monthly cost, not just the advertised price.

Location, building age, amenities, and lease terms all affect affordability. A lower asking rent can still feel expensive if the building adds fees, has strict pet rules, or requires a large upfront payment.
